— Excerpt from Skillshare's Skillshare Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Use of personal data for machine learning training implicates GDPR Article 22 (automated decision-making) and may require a DPIA. Under CCPA and state privacy laws, this use may constitute a form of profiling that triggers opt-out rights in some jurisdictions. Compliance teams should assess whether adequate disclosure and legal basis exist for this processing purpose.
